I was going to the park a lot back then and rode the Skyway on every visit to get a view of the construction (it was round trip only during that time) I have photos from back then of Monstro still sitting there even though everything in front of him and to the side of him was just dirt. I need to dig those out and post them!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-50348656620490471982009-09-30T14:48:51.485-07:002009-09-30T14:48:51.485-07:00TokyoMagic!, I have the feeling that the original ...TokyoMagic!, I have the feeling that the original Monstro must have been replaced (perhaps during the 1983 Fantasyland redo).

Upon emerging from the inky depths of Monstro, his terrified eyes may have been met by vistas of desolation, and a fun choo-choo buzzing around cruelly taunting him on his journey of despair...<br /><br />Gee we must've had the same crop of bananas for breakfast. :pChiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.com
